The weakness of the Faster, Stronger, Better system reveals itself now.  I hit the gym last night, as planned, Got Stronger and went home.  I wake up, now, rather weaker since what I really did was put a bunch of micro-tears in my muscles which now need to heal.  When I'm really Getting Stronger in these few days AFTER the gym.  I can say this with certainty because right now, I'm feeling preeeeeeeeeeeetty sore.  In a good way, but sore nonetheless.  Especially in the calfular region, having hopped on the standing calf raise for the first time in a while and topping out at 10x215.  Fun but painful in the aftermath.  I also hit the OH squat clean which was alright but in dropping the bar back to the clean position, I tweaked something in my left shoulder which is now also slightly weaker.  I'm less worried about that one, since I'm not going to use my left shoulder for....anything in the near (next 30odd hours), it's just annoying.  Overall, I'm pretty happy with my workout.

Oh, forgot to mention, I've got my little Corner of Athletic Usefulness at work now- my gatorade, some flaxseed oil (for Omega-3s) and Centrum Silver (for combating osteoporosis and also just getting regular vitamin supplementation).  Makes me smile.  I'm taking a set of pretty huge pills every lunch now, and that's kinda balls, but it isn't really that hard.  And again, dividends get paid in April, not over the winter.

Rest day today, nothing planned, no gym, no treadmill, just chilling out and probably gonna try to get to bed early (we'll see how that works out...) and hopefully I'll be at 100% on Sunday.  Should be possible if I don't do anything stupid or get sick.  The latter is looming distressingly large over my life- yesterday I was in a meeting of 5 people, only 2 of us in this tiny conference room weren't sick.  Ugh.

Well, whatever.  Let's Do Some Work,
